After the altercation that occurred during a 7-on-7 football tournament in Atlanta involving Cam Newton and the TSP crew, coaches TJ and Steph Brown provided insights into the incident.
TJ went on to characterize the situation as “typical Cam Newton behavior on the 7-on-7 scene,” stating that, while Newton has a history of confrontations, the recent incident exceeded expectations.
“This is typical Cam Newton behavior on the 7-on-7 scene,” TJ said, per Fox News. “But yesterday was a little worse, and you can even ask people in his organization. Cam ain’t never act like that. I’ve seen him talk crazy to parents, talk crazy to some of the kids because everybody tries to make it seem like, ‘Oh, the kids just be disrespecting Cam.’ No, Cam be disrespecting people, too.”
Steph Brown, recalling his own involvement in the altercation, expressed disappointment in himself. He then clarified that his intention was not to harm Newton but rather to convey a message to him.
“I’m disappointed in myself. I let Cam trigger me to that point where I entertained what he was doing, but it was never out of ill will or to put him in harm’s way. But me going up there was to let him know, ‘Cam, you’re not gonna disrespect our organization, you’re not going to disrespect our kids or our parents out here,” Steph added.
The incident occurred during the “We Ball Sports” 7-on-7 tournament in Atlanta, where both teams were competing. Surprisingly, four men from Team TSP initially attacked Newton, with two more joining in later. Despite facing multiple attackers, Newton remained composed and managed to handle the situation with ease.
